Saint Paul Parish

Saint Paul Parish is an administrative division on the western coast with varied terrain including coastal areas, hills, and fertile agricultural regions. The landscape features a mix of natural geography suited for farming and settlement.

The area was originally inhabited by Kalinago peoples before Europeans established sugar plantations during colonization. This shift shaped the region's development for generations.

People living here maintain local traditions through markets where agricultural products and handmade goods are sold directly from vendors. Walking through these spaces, you see how farming and craftsmanship remain woven into everyday life.

The area is served by Canefield Airport, the second major aviation hub in Dominica, providing connections to neighboring islands. Roads pass through the region connecting different parts of the western coast.

Within the parish sits a processing facility that transforms local coconut into finished goods for regional markets. This operation demonstrates how local agricultural materials are turned into commercial products.
